Chicken & Pig pricing help!

[ChrisP]

Could someone help me pull together some figures for cost per day of raising broiler chickens and pigs?

Looking for cost per day including water, labour, feed, utilities etc etc - for a single broiler chicken per day?

and

cost per day as above, all in, for a single pig (indoors or outdoors)?

recognize this will change dependent on age of animal but wondering if there’s an average figure.

much appreciated!

All Very variable
These rough figures from memory
Broilers

Leccy 2-3p/bird/mth with some solar also some gshp
Water .002p if Mains. /bird/day
Feed 60 grammes /day huge variations
Heat. .-5 to +10p /bird over 50day, biomass can give more rhi than fuel cost
Labour... Huge variation

Cost of chick 45p.....

Basic maintaince 1p/bird per crop....hard to specify

Hope that helps a bit


Muck out clean disinfect new bedding 5 or 6 p per bird (using contractors for much of this work)

Vaccines/ vet tests etc 3pbird /

Red tractor/ipcc etc 0.8p/bird

More like 100g feed perday

Live weight price £1.1 per kg
Soon to be 1.20

Feed can be 530/t+ if no forward buying has happenned
Rough guess you need 1.15 to break even at these feed prices.
